Corporate Volunteering

The Corporate Volunteering program offers companies a way to make a positive impact while providing significant benefits to their employees. Volunteer activities can be customised to fit a company’s goals.

By participating, employees can contribute to meaningful social change, develop new skills, connect with their community, and experience personal growth. All volunteers are required to register with the University of Adelaide for insurance purposes.

General Volunteering

We’re always looking for passionate community members to join our team. General volunteering is a flexible way to support the Don Dunstan Foundation and contribute to our mission of social justice.

This is an ad hoc program. When we need support, we post shifts with clear descriptions. As a registered volunteer, you’ll have the option to sign up on a first-in, first-served basis, as capacity limits do apply.

Shifts can range from hands-on event support to assisting our team with research or administrative tasks. Whether you’re helping with event setup and pack-down or doing data entry, you’ll be making a valuable contribution.

We believe everyone has something valuable to offer and are excited to welcome you to our team!
